SPC Private RallyPoint Member 4213408 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My Unit is deploying next year and I would like to go but I&#39;m going to OCS next year. It&#39;s still unclear whether I&#39;ll get to go AOCS or if I&#39;ll have to do the traditional program. If I can go accelerated there&#39;s a possibility I can be done before they leave but that leaves the question of BOLC. Will I most likely have to sit this one out? Is it possible to deploy with your unit before you go to BOLC? If so can you goto BOLC while in MOB status? 2018-12-16T16:25:06-05:00 SPC Private RallyPoint Member 4213408 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My Unit is deploying next year and I would like to go but I&#39;m going to OCS next year.

So no in order for you to deploy as a 2LT you need to be qualified.

You&#39;ll be assigned to the rear-detachment and continue with your service there until your school date.
